Dear Editor,
Did you receive interesting postage stamps on letters and parcels this Christmas? If so, Save the Children Canada would like to use them to help pay for their programs. The money received when the stamps are sold to stamp dealers is used to pay for programs for children in Africa, Asia, South America and even Canada. All stamps received are sold, with stamps from foreign countries fetching a higher price. If you have stamps you’d like to donate, please take them to the Bowen Post Office. I will pick them up there and mail them to Save the Children.
Bowen residents have been contributing stamps for almost 20 years now and our contributions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Susan Tennant
